A diptych by poet Mary Jo Salter, the text of Fred Hersch's Two Haiku compares the fleeting span of a life to the turning of the seasons. In addition to painting the words of these brief stanzas with rich chromatic harmonies, Hersch's six-minute score calls upon the singers to illustrate the themes of the haiku with the sounds of whistled birdsong and unvoiced breaths.
Dedicated to the memory of musician and educator Steve Zegree, this eight-part choral setting was commissioned for vocal octet Roomful of Teeth by Ryan McNaughton and premiered at the 2017 Ecstatic Music Festival.

List ening to and familiarizing myself with the recordings of several jazz musicians from the New York scene of the early 2000s, I noticed that the contrapuntal aspect manifests itself more and more frequently at the level of composition and improvisation. Although we find the manifestation of this concept at different times, notably in the playing of Fred Hersch or guitarist Ted Greene, its spontaneous, systematic and parameterized use seems to become characteristic of contemporary jazz, particularly in the playing of pianist Brad Mehldau. and guitarists such as Gilad Hekselman or Pasquale Grasso. I developed a deep interest in this concept and my efforts to assimilate it materialized in a doctoral thesis in interpretation, in an album, then in this method. We can hear the application of this concept throughout the album, released in the fall of 2021 on the Arte Boreal label: Sens unique. This collection exposes the methodological approach developed in order to conceive, analyze, and ultimately appropriate the contrapuntal aspect of two voices. The various educational tools and strategies presented in this method will allow the guitarist to quickly identify and then assimilate the many aspects relating to this subject.
